Capacity Building across the Andes

This grant to The Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS) will support the formation and self governance structure of a network of at least 10 existing institutions in the Andean region, providing training for protected area managers and decision makers. When fully implemented, the Network will provide training opportunities across the Andean region using the human and technical resources of the participating institutions from Venezuela to Bolivia. Capacity building is crucial for the long-term sustainability of conservation projects.
